GENERALIZATION &
DIAGRAM ON EROSION

Such factors include: weathering or
erosional debris cover on slopes,
which is usually liable to mass
movement; the character and
structure of rocks, such as resistant Soil erosion is gradual process that occurs

What is the difference between mass
waisting and soil erosion. The mass
wasting is the transfer or movement of
rocks or soil down slope primarily by
gravity, while soil erosion is natural
